Dubbed a 'Gameplay Trailer' what we see here sits clearly on the cinematic side of things, but if all of this incredible footage is taken from in-game in-engine cinematic sequences then, well, wow. We already know that the scope of the game is huge, so this new look at the mysterious Order of the Ancients just cements how big this new Assassin's Creed is going to be.

In addition to the war elephants we get to see glimpses of gladiatorial combat and more Ancient Egyptian iconography than we got to see in nine seasons of Stargate.
